After the Civil War, there were many applications sent in requesting pensions.  Most of these folks were in financial situations, where this pension was necessary.  A lot of these applications were submitted by widows, who had lost their husbands during the war.  The list below are all of the Gregg County applications received and documented by the state of Texas.  If
you find a family member here, you can order a copy of the application.  This web site will explain the process for ordering a pension application. Texas State Pension Archives
